Southern Ocean Lodge invites guests to a refined winter wine weekend in partnership with the esteemed Henschke family. Set on the dramatic coastline of Kangaroo Island, this immersive experience celebrates heritage, craftsmanship and a deep connection to place.
Hosted by one of Australia's most revered winemaking families, whose legacy spans more than 150 years in the Eden Valley, the weekend offers rare access to Henschke's story and wines. Guests will enjoy exclusive tastings of special vintages brought to the lodge for the occasion, alongside insights into the family's six generations of custodianship and the art of fine winegrowing in South Australia.
A curated program of relaxed lunches and elegant dinners showcases the best of the region's seasonal produce, sourced directly from local growers and producers. Each menu is thoughtfully paired with Henschke wines, from iconic labels to rare selections, enhancing every dining experience with depth and character.
Beyond the table, guests may explore the island's untamed beauty through guided coastal walks and wildlife encounters, before returning to the lodge for fireside moments overlooking the Southern Ocean.
With limited guest numbers, the weekend promises an intimate atmosphere, meaningful connection and a memorable celebration of wine, landscape and legacy.
